Way Of Life Shotokan Karate-Do is a karate dojo specializing in shotokan karate. This category of karate emphasizes use of the hands, feet, head, knees and elbows as striking weapons. Shotokan Karate practice is divided into the three K's: Kihon, which is the drilling of stances, punches and other basics, Kata, which are pre-arranged forms simulating combat situations, and Kumite, which emphasizes sparring. Way of Life Shotokan focuses on the philosophical and spiritual aspects of karate, in addition to its physical training and self-defense techniques.
